Following the resignation of Jogi Löw, Hansi Flick is also one of the contenders for the position of national coach. His boss spoke now for the first time about the future of the FCB coach.
Munich – Following the announced resignation of Joachim Löw as national coach, German football is looking for a suitable successor. Bayern coach Hansi Flick, who became world champion as an assistant coach of the national team, is also said to be one of the contenders for the poses. After Flick himself commented on the rumors on Friday, FCB coach Karl-Heinz Rummenigge found clear words.
FC Bayern: speculation on Flick as national coach – Rummenigge has ‘open conversation’ with DFB president Keller
“We would be crazy if we let our coach leave early,” Rummenigge told dpa on Monday. The 65-year-old also reported an “open conversation” with DFB president Fritz Keller, for which he thanked. “I believe that the DFB’s decision will be serious and correct not to contact a coach who is contractually bound beyond June 30, 2021,” Rummenigge said in this regard. Keller had “confirmed once again the attitude of the DFB towards the president of the record champions, which seems very decent to me.”
FC Bayern will continue to trust Flick, who won every title with the Munich team in its debut season, even beyond the summer. For this reason, Rummenigge stressed that he is living “the most successful moment in the history of FC Bayern” and recalled the period of his coach’s contract, which will not end until the summer of 2023. “Every agreement includes both rights and obligations,” he said Rummenigge, 65.

FC Bayern: Flick does not explicitly rule out a return to the DFB, and refers to his contract
At the press conference leading up to Bayern’s away win in Bremen, Flick also referred to his contract with the Champions League winner. “I want to work very successfully here at Bayern Munich and win several titles,” said the 56-year-old. “The club also expects me to focus 100 percent on FC Bayern. So I think this is not the time to speculate about my future, “said Flick in an opening statement. However, he did not give the DFB a clear rejection.
The search continues for a national coach to take over the shaky DFB squad after the European Championship. In addition to Flick, Ralf Rangnick, Stefan Kuntz and Markus Sorg are also considered candidates. (ajr)
